The K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>–CaCO<sub>3</sub>–MgCO<sub>3</sub> System at 6 GPa: Implications for Diamond Forming Carbonatitic Melts

The K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>–CaCO<sub>3</sub>–MgCO<sub>3</sub> System at 6 GPa: Implications for Diamond Forming Carbonatitic Melts

Carbonate micro inclusions with abnormally high K<sub>2</sub>O appear in diamonds worldwide. However, the precise determination of their chemical and phase compositions is complicated due to their sub-micron size. The K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>&#8722;CaCO<...
